I wrote about this with @davidthewid.bsky.social, in a paper where we looked at DoD funding proposals - a lot of the tech that isn't necessarily aimed at being dual use is also funded by *very* dual use type grants. It's hard to escape in the U.S.!

This may be a good time to advertise our recent FAccT 2026 paper on the weaponization of computer vision for military and surveillance applications by tracing conference sponsors arxiv.org/abs/2604.07803

Still infinite orders of magnitude better than automating the decision to bomb 12-yo girls in their school 🙄

don’t punish critical work for failing to solve the colossal clusterfuck the industry keeps throwing at us critique is, in and of itself, service 3/

Declining reviewer invitations due to maternity leave almost almost compensated all the sleepless nights 😆

Seeing computer vision applied in such terrible ways is heartbreaking. I love the science, but we need to seriously reconsider the harm that is being done.

I'd say that working on the facct deadline is a way more rewarding experience than cvpr rush

I feel it is important not to over-index on the CSAM angle, which is undoubtedly important, but which makes up a relatively tiny fraction of these. The primary way this is being used is to sexually harass adult women, and that is also very bad.

The only thing I can surmise is they simply don’t care about harassment of women. They don’t think it’s newsworthy, at least not as newsworthy as Gemini creating an image of a Black founding father.

I keep saying this in my talks when people ask me whether bias in image generation is really such a big problem. Apparently, it's only an emergency to be solved immediately when bias is perceived as "woke".

Unfortunately we have to wait at least until 2032 for CVPR to be outside of USA.

Machines shouldn’t make life or death decisions. It’s that simple. We need a treaty to #StopKillerRobots now.

Normally “I’m proud of you” is something someone says to someone under their wing, but this time it’s the other way around Super proud of my advisor for putting this together! This stuff is important. Saying otherwise is like putting your underwear on over your pants, just doesn’t make sense
